The density of wind-packed snow is estimated to be 0.35 g/cm^3. A flat roof that is 35 by 43 feet has 28 inches of snow on it. How many pounds of snow are on the roof?

There are 76728.2 pounds of snow on the roof

Explanation:

To determine how many pounds of snow are on the roof,

First we will determine the mass of the snow in grams.

From the question,

Density of snow = 0.35 g/cm³

From

Density = Mass / Volume

To determine the mass, we will first find the volume.

From the question, a flat roof that is 35 by 43 feet has 28 inches of snow on it, that is, the height of the snow on the roof is 28 inches.

Area of the roof = 35 ft × 43 ft = 1505 ft²

Volume of the snow = Area of the roof × Height of the snow

Height of the snow = 28 inches

12 inches = 1 foot

∴ 28 inches = 28/12 feet = 2.3333 ft

Hence,

Volume of the snow = 1505 ft² × 2.3333 ft = 3511.62 ft³

Volume of the snow = 3511.62 ft³

This is the volume of the snow in cubic feet

Now, we will convert cubic feet (ft³) to cubic centimeter (cm³)

1 ft = 30.48 cm

and 1 ft³ = 30.48³ cm³ = 28316.84659 cm³.

If 1 ft³ =  28316.84659 cm³

∴ 3511.62 ft³ will be 3511.62 × 28316.84659 cm³ = 99438004.83 cm³

Hence, Volume of snow = 99438004.83 cm³

Now, we can determine mass of snow in grams

From

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = Density × Volume

Mass = 0.35 g/cm³ × 99438004.83 cm³

Mass = 34803301.69 g

Now, we will convert the mass from grams to pounds

1 pound = 453.592 grams

If 453.592 grams = 1 pound

Then, 34803301.69 g will be 34803301.69 / 453.592 pounds = 76728.2 pounds

Hence, there are 76728.2 pounds of snow on the roof.

the potential energy of the reactants is 200j.

from the energy diagram, the energy of the product formed is 350j; this means that, this reaction is an endothermic reaction, because it absorbs energy from its environment.

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary
